Audley Harrison

harrygreb · Post by **harrygreb** » 15 Apr 2006, 20:07

the big problem for harrison came quite early in his pro career - his trainer happened to mention to him one day that his opponents will try to hit him back - audley was never quite the same after that.

I posted this after the Audrey Guinn fight had been confirmed.

http://www.boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... c&start=80

"Could it be that Audrey has realised that he'll only ever amount to being a journeyman and is acting as a stepping stone for Guinns renewed attempt at the top?"

I reckon if he fights again, Journeyman is the only title he can be given cos he's only going to lose (unless he takes a walk with Julius Francis again).

Now the confession, my best friend and I (who incidentally went uni with Fraudly) were taken in by the hype back in the day... and my wife doesn't let us forget that!

Audley is defiant...

"I've got to regalvanise myself," said the 34-year-old Harrison. "I wasn't hurt at all at any time, I just didn't put my foot on the gas.

"I've just got to go back to the drawing board. This ain't over yet."

Screw this wanker he's starting to piss me off now.

Yeah he's a complete nob.

"Let me have another go please, I promise I'll do better this time. That was just a practice, I wasn't actually trying."

I find it offensive that he is still talking bout becoming HW champ of the world. Regardless of the lack of quality at that weight currently.

James Toney loves us Brits!

"The guy didn't want to fight," he said. "Typical Brit."

Wildwaylong,what are you talking about,williams won that fight so easy,and he never bothered to do hardly anything in that fight,why the ref gave sprott the win was simply because williams out of order with his contempt of sprott,added to that the fight before,williams knocked sprott clean out because williams hit sprott in the balls,spott waited for the ref to do something and williams floored him.I`m not saying williams is no good,cause in the right frame of mind he`s ggo enough to go against all the heavies fighting now.

I've notice that when he wins its all in the third term stuff "Audley Harrison is still undefeated, Audley Harrison got the job done".

When he loses though, he tends to mention team Harrison "We had a good camp and we haven't quite crossed the mountain" etc.

He seems to over analyse stuff too much also, boxing is not rocket science.

So does anyone think that Audley can improve? I was just comparing him to Johnny Nelson, who when he stepped up the first couple of times against De Leon and Warring , Nelson froze and everyone was calling for him to quit. Since then he has gone on to be one of out best Cruiserweights ever.

So could Audley do the same? or is it just he doesn't have the physical capabilities to box at world level?

jomothepure · Post by **jomothepure** » 16 Apr 2006, 11:26

Well if he's serious about continuing, he should just start right back at the beginning. Fight Gammer. Fight Krence. Fight Sidon. Fight Slaeta. Be rightly ignored by the public, and don't show up until you have the eye of the tiger. Seriously.

Because physical capability isn't the problem though topper, it's the mental ones. No excuse for the Guinn performance. "He didn't hurt me. I just didn't put my foot on the gas." Why the fornicate not Audley? Yout don't win rounds by not getting hurt.

The idiot states that Frank Bruno went for the world title 3 or 4 times before he won it. What a knob!! I didnt realise these were world title fights he was in!

Following the tragic announcement that Mr Audley Harrison intends to 'fight' on, I would be grateful if fellow forum members could join me in offering their sincerest condolences to fellow boxing fans worldwide, their families & friends, all heavyweight pro boxers, their families & friends, boxing judges that may be forced to sit through his bouts in future, their families & friends, Mr Harrison's management & training team, Bill Cosby, Sugar Ray Leonard, Lenny Henry, Michael J Fox & to whoever else it may concern.

Heavyweight boxing; RIP. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Are you sure?

From the BBC Website;

Audley Harrison says he has no intention of retiring despite losing his second successive fight on Friday.
Harrison's points defeat to America's Dominick Guinn in California followed his much-derided loss to fellow Londoner Danny Williams last December.

"I've got to re-galvanise myself," said the 34-year-old Harrison. "I wasn't hurt at all at any time, I just didn't put my foot on the gas.

"I've just got to go back to the drawing board. This ain't over yet."

Dire Harrison outpointed by Guinn

Harrison, who won gold at the 2000 Olympics, has now lost two of his 21 professional encounters.

But Harrison still believes he has what it takes to become heavyweight champion of the world.

"I've got to keep working on it," said Harrison. "I'm close, but I just haven't come over the mountain yet.

"Frank Bruno went for world titles three or four times and eventually he got there."

surely there cant be anyone left who would promote a guy that stinks places out as effectively as harrison.

i'll go along with the condolences but i have to say i'm not and never have been a heavyweight fan - its been fairground fantasy boxing for too long now

Nobody in their right mind is going to pay to see him fight.

Lets not forget, these are not top drawer heavyweights who have beaten him. The guy just has absolutely no heart, stamina or confidence in his chin. The signs have been there long before these last two fights.

I have to say I'll be happy when he gets knocked clean out the guy is a tosser plain and simple.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 18 Apr 2006, 08:57

Harrison should hire himself out to fight exhibition fights in squats, the stench of his performance would clear out even the most determined freeloading soapdodger. Maybe he could clear protestors away as well.

Audley, take a fornicating Hike, it's over....

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 18 Apr 2006, 09:04

Dude, what is the matter with you! The guy is finished, kaput, finito! He's going to be 35 soon, and has fought like an absolute pussy in the two biggest fights of his career, what more evidence do you want that he is either shot, or gunshy or both?

Come on, all Audley Harrison fans let it go! The guy does not have the right mentality and that is something that just cannot be trained.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 18 Apr 2006, 09:44

Surely you jest! Harrison has not even won a domestic title and when all is said and done that level will be the limit of his achievements.

Comical ALi.

He might be Auds next opponent.

Comical Ali is far too risky for Harrison to contemplate fighting; he's still alive & under 70 yrs old!

Audley Harrison

Sad day for heavyweight boxing.
